Going crazy waiting

Hi all, I'm 4w+1 today, I found out I was pregnant really early at 3w+4 because I tested early due to very clear symptoms. The problem is now in going crazy waiting. I called the GP today when my period is officially late and they booked me for first midwife contact in December! Even to get an early scan, at 7 weeks it's mid November. I feel like I can't stand to wait that long and constantly feeling like it's all a mistake and it's gonna be a chemical pregnancy or something. I want to tell my family so bad but want some kind of confirmation things are developing ok first. Any tips from anyone who has been through this before?

Congratulations ❤️❤️! I totally get you, I also found out at 3+3! This is my second pregnancy! My advice would be to tell your family or close friends! The rule I go by is anyone I would tell if it didn’t work out I tell straight away as that support is so important in the beginning and also so nice to be able to get excited with someone! Xx

It’s hard but we’re all in the same boat.

I know this is the hardest part, it's the unknown and hoping everything is okay. I haven't even told my mum yet because I'm only 6+1.. it doesn't help how I don't even feel pregnant, apart from the heavy boobs I've got no nausea.

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

Anxiety

I’m 10 weeks and I have had so much anxiety probably for the last 2-3 weeks I already deal with anxiety but it was a tad bit easier shaking it off when I wasn’t pregnant.. I am on medication but doesn’t seem to be doing much tbh— I see a lot of yall say it’s a first trimester thing but this is my 3rd baby and I don’t remember being this anxious especially bc sometimes I’m just laying and heart rate reaches the the 120s am I the only one? Please help with suggestions. I don’t want to feel like this.. I know pregnancy is hard but fudge this makes it’s harder 😔😔😔

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.
